NSB(i)
15 I do not understand what I am doing. For what I want to do I do not do. What I hate, I do.
16 But if what I do not want to do, I do, I consent to the law that it is right.
17 Now then it is no longer I that do it, but the sin that dwells in me.
18 I know that good does not live in my human nature. For even though the desire to do good is in me, I am not able to do it.
19 I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I do the evil that I do not want to do.
20 If I do what I do not want to do, this means that I am no longer the one who does it. Instead, it is the sin that lives in me.
21 I find that this law is at work. When I want to do what is good, what is evil is the only choice I have.
22 My inner person delights in the law of God.
23 However I see a different law at work in my body. This law fights against the law that my mind approves of. It makes me a prisoner to the law of sin that is at work in my body.
24 Miserable man that I am! Who will rescue me from the body undergoing this death?
